| 3 Missions of Auburn and the Acts they Come From |
|
Definition
1. Teach = Morril Act of 1862
Enacted land grant schools meaning each school got a set amount of land to erect
a public school on a set of land but the state sold the land and invested in the RR which went bankrupt. They then teamed up with the Methodist from East AL Male college and put their resources together for Ag. and Mech. School of AL
2. Research = Hatch Act of 1887
gave money to land grant universities to begin research so the student can learn the most up to date procedures the quickest way possible.
3. Expand and Encourage Application of Knowledge
soon became a trend that adults could not leave the Farms to go to school and learn new techniques so this act added more teachers and students to take the ideas out to the field and add them in their daily lives |
